There is a 'make install' It does (attempt) to edit the grub configuration stuff. I don't have grub installed, and 'make install' crashes on the failure of 'grubby'.
Curing this requires my understanding grub, which I chose not to install so I wouldn't have to acquire that understanding. Any quick solutions known to the assembled?
My mailtool uses proportional type, has no rulers, and won't wrap at a set number of chars on a line. Please be gracious for those who are stuck with defective tools.

i don't think it was your mail client that was causing the issue. fwiw, your post wrapped at about 72 on my display.
anyway, so if you aren't using grub then i take it you are using lilo?
before i went to grub, when i built my kernel i did not use the make install command at all. after running:
# make dep clean;make bzImage modules modules_install
i copy System.map and bzImage to /boot. rename bzImage to vmlinuz-x.x.xx and setup a symlink System.map to System.map-x.x.xx
then edit /etc/lilo.conf to add the new entry. you just use the previous entry and change the label associated with the previous kernel to match the new one.
then run: # lilo
you should see a * appear next to the new entry, indicating it has been added.
reboot, and your new kernel should load.
